Smart Band review – with Dynamic Heart Rate monitor,Lenovo HW01

The band looks a lot different and is also unique in the sense that it comes with micro USB port to charge the built in battery. This fitness band is IP65 certified that makes it splash proof. Lenovo HW01 features a 0.91 inch OLED screen with touch sensitive button.

The body is made of skin friendly material, that feels more comfortable and the silicon molding strap gives you a comfort fit all day long. The straps are watch style. You can view most of the details on the band screen itself.

Lenovo HW01 smart band performance

You will need to download the Lenovo Smart Bracelet app from Google or Apple stores. Install it and pair it with the band. The app gives you a lot of option. This band can track your steps, distance covered, calories burned, your sleep pattern, heart rate and apart from this it will also give you alerts – message, SMS, Facebook, Whatsapp, Twitter etc.

You can also enable call alerts (vibration) wherein you will get the caller ID (name as in your contacts) on the OLED screen when you receive a call. This fitness band does not come with built in Mic and Speaker, only vibration alerts.

Overall did not encounter any issues, there is no need to carry the smartphone with you but make sure to sync at least once a week.

Lenovo HW01 Real Time Heart Rate

There is option to choose real time heart rate monitoring, you can do that from the app or press and hold the button on the band until you get 3 options choose the 1st option i.e exercise mode and it will start monitoring your heart rate in real time. This is a very good option if you are doing extensive exercise and want to closely monitor your heart rate, you can also setup the heart rate alert value so in case your heart rate goes over the defined value you will get vibration alert.

Lenovo HW01 battery performance

The 90 mAh battery can be fully charged in less than 2 hours (around 1 hours 20 minutes using 5V/1A charger). On a full charge you will get around 15 days of battery life, even more if you hardly use real-time heart rate monitoring option.

The strap is a part of the body so in case it gets damaged you will not be able to replace the strap
